C Company was a company of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers under the command of Major Antonio Silva assigned to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn in 2552.
History[edit]
C Company was one of four companies present within the 22nd Tactical when the UNSC Pillar of Autumn arrived at Installation 04 on September 19, 2552. They took part in the defense of the cruiser from Covenant boarding parties before landing on the ringworld via SOEIV. They organized under Major Silva and were assigned to hike to a landing zone where several pilots of the 23rd Naval Air Squadron had landed their D77 Pelican dropships. From there, the company would be inserted onto the top of the butte comprising Alpha Base. They would hike overnight while First Lieutenant Melissa McKay's B Company proceeded to get in position for the attack, and join the battle following Lieutenant McKay's commencement of the fighting.[3]
By the time of Master Chief Petty Officer John-117's destruction of the ringworld, C Company was destroyed.
